As Thomas Sowell put it, the very same people who criticize a Euro-Centric or Western-Cemtric view of history, pedal in a Euro/Western-Centric History of slavery.
Their a Communist front that only pedals the Civil Liberties gig in one direction. Anything against Communism is anti-civil liberties. Anything else is of no concern.
Black Lives Matter: Nothing to do with black lives
Patriot Act: Nothing to do with patriotism.
The list goes on.
Nah, as a native Texan (spent my first 25 yrs in Texas) who lived in Boston for 4 years, there's plenty of good people in NE. Don't play into the us vs. them narrative. You have way more friends in Boston, and other stereotypically liberal regions than you realize.
B-b-BuT aNtiFa iSn'T rEEEEEaL !!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?!?!!!?!
Same in Boston. One of the most delightful and entertaining days of my life. People literally crying in the streets.
I don't totally disagree with you, but he was baptized into Catholicism in 1930, way before his death. Of course you could argue that it was so that he could marry Marietta.
"Prior to his marriage to Marietta, von Neumann was baptized a Catholic in 1930."
So, it would seem that there were at the very least, some Christian inclinations, in addition to Pascal's Wager. Christianity also teaches that even an 11th hour Christian is still a Christian, as well. You don't necessarily have to agree with that point, but that is the position of scripture.
So, in total, motivations aside, the guy was baptized in 1930, years before his illness, seemed to teeter on the side of Christianity, and did take a Christian stance on his deathbed. Yeah, I'll call that a Christian, but will acknowledge that it's subject to debate.
I'm a scientist (physics/Elec. Eng.) that worked at Sandia Natl. Lab, and did my post-doc at MIT. I have met Christians everywhere, being one myself, of course. My group at MIT was also heavily Jewish, and really exceptional people.
Life and this world are complex. Their are some midwits who think they have achieved some higher level of mental capacity, that supercedes a religious capacity, but I've met some truly brilliant people over the years that were Christians, or at the very least religious.
For a fun read, check out my personal favorite super-genuis (maybe more so than even Einstein), Christian, super-anti-communist, John von Neumann.
Exactly. The same people who would have you arrested over social media posts are now claiming victim over being arrested for committing violent crimes.
Bullshit. I'm in Texas and my bro-in-law is a doctor in the COVID sector, and the same thing is happening here. Not just blue states, but anywhere in Blue control, which is every medical facility
Exactly true!
